Astrodynamics feed issues

by  • 

If you have been a subscriber to this blog for over a year, you may have stopped receiving new posts in your email box. Mercury retrograde is a great time to look over your blog and see where there are errors, and in doing this I discovered that most of my feed subscribers use Feedburner, but Feedburner stopped picking up the new posts.  Meanwhile I had switched to Feedblitz but only new subscribers are on that platform. In any event, no matter which service you use you should now receive all of […]

Personal thoughts on the sign Cancer

by  • 

The Sun moved into Cancer at the Summer Solstice, and I have been thinking a lot about that sign.  I have a client who used to say “don’t call me a cancer!!” so I am now very politically correct, calling people born under that sign “Cancerians” rather than “Cancers.”  And this is somewhat representative of the Cancerian sensitivity. I was raised in a family of Cancerians.  My sister and my mother share the same birthday (or did up until my mother’s death in 2012) in the early degrees of Cancer.  My […]

Gun-nuttery and revolution with Uranus in Aries

by  • 

More than any other sign, Aries is associated with warfare.  Ruled by the planet Mars (Mars is the Roman name for the god of war – Ares was his Greek counterpart, Aries is assertive, energetic, and generally doesn’t like to back down from a fight.  Uranus is the planet of rebellion, independence, freedom and liberation.  It’s not a surprise then that the passage of Uranus in Aries (since 2010) has brought with it a huge wave of rebellion against gun laws among gun aficionados in the United States. As soon […]

Sunday Poetry for the Summer Solstice

by  • 

Midsummer by JT Midsummer — Longest day Shortest night Longest light Shortest dark The world within Echoes the world without Lush foliage, leaves unfurled Soft springy grass dotted with Brightly colored flowers peeping through The earth is green and bright With warm sunny days Clear velvety blue skies Gentle cool breezes Nature in glory Our hopes blossom Creativity flowers With the season The seeds of the fruit Our desires will bear Can be seen On the stems Of our dreams

Summer Solstice: The Turning of the Wheel

by  • 

Gorgeous art by Lynn Fogel While custom dictates the Northern Hemisphere celebration of the Summer Solstice and the first day of Summer on June 21st, the use of the tropical zodiac places the entry of the Sun into the sign of Cancer on the longest day of the year. Cancer is one of the “cardinal” signs – the signs that are directed towards action and leadership.  Each of the cardinal signs marks the turning of the seasons: from the Summer in Cancer we move into the Autumn of Libra, followed […]

The Uranian world of Henry Miller

by  • 

Thanks to my friends at Astrococktail for the link to this interesting article about writer Henry Miller. Miller was the author of several books that were shocking for their times (the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn were written in the 1930s and banned for many years.  When I was in high school in the mid-1960s they were published in the US for the first time.  Miller is also famed for his relationship with fellow writer Anais Nin who is best known for her works of erotica.  His marriage to […]

Mercury retrograde in the news

by  • 

I love it when people say Mercury retrograde has no effect in the real world.  Just yesterday I was on the phone trying to schedule an appointment to get my car serviced and the dealer’s computer went down.  And then my postman went on a rampage about incorrect box numbers.  And we were unable to get a payoff for a real estate closing which had to be delayed. Elsewhere in the news: Facebook’s website went down on Thursday, creating panic for millions of addicted users. In New York City a power […]

Mars is back, with Mercury Rx! Practical advice for stressful times.

by  • 

Since last December Mars, currently traveling through Libra, has been tied to the intense Uranus/Pluto dynamic.  (If this is new to you, please read this section in the sidebar.)  Uranus and Pluto have been in this dramatic dance since 2011-2012, shattering paradigms and breaking down old patterns to be rebuilt from the ground up. Mars is a faster moving planet so its effect usually doesn’t last very long, but in its role as instigator it does tend to trigger the larger cycles into action when they have remained dormant.  Mars aligned in […]

Why we click with some people and not others

by  • 

As an astrologer, I understand that when we click with some people and not others it’s because planetary interactions between the charts of different individuals manifest differently.  If your Mars (aggression) is in a challenging aspect to my Moon (emotional sensitivity), I may feel threatened or irritated by you.  If your Pluto (power and intensity) sits on my Sun (expression of Self) I may feel overpowered by you.  If your Venus aligns with mine, I will probably love you instantly! So I found this article interesting: I have always been […]

Transits and Transformation: Turning Crisis into Healing

by  • 

As humans, we tend to think that happiness is better than sadness, that good luck is better than bad. We may avoid difficult confrontations and pursue more comfortable situations. When tragedy strikes our well-protected lives, we shout out to our god of choice: “How could you do this to me??” We believe that our birthright is the pursuit of happiness, and we spend our lives trying to protect ourselves from sorrow. The soul, however, has a different journey. The soul travels an ancient evolutionary path that seeks wisdom and connection […]
